Can American HD DVD players play standard definition DVDs from Other regions, at least NTSC ones?
I know the HD DVDs themselves have no region, im asking if it can play STANDARD DEF DVDs from another region. If not, I have a Region Free Pal->NTSC Player that has nice quality, but if the HD DVD player can do that to I would like to get rid of some of the clutter.

Answer
The above answer is wrong, HD DVD is region free, I know because I have the european version of Terminator 2 because the Blu-Ray doesn't have the extended version only theatrical and it plays on my player.

What is the difference between an HD DVD Upconversion DVD player and a regualr HD DVD player?

I've been seeing these HD DVD Upconversion players all over the place and are ALOT cheaper than an HD DVD player. What's the difference? I own an HD compatible TV. Does that have anything to do with it?

Answer
Pretty much, the difference is the price. I got a DVD that upconverts to HD from Walmart for less than $40 including the HDMI cable. (You have to use an HDMI cable for any type of HD, whether it's upconverting or solid HD)

I have also used a High Def DVD player on my TV with no difference to speak of. So save yourself some money and get the DVD player that upconverts

The link will take you to the one I have. It is a Magnavox and works just excellent! and, it's even a little lower in price now. Keep in mind, HDMI cables can cost upwards of $30, but for $34.88 you can get the player along with the HDMI cable.
